I thought global warming was going to disrupt the gulf stream and make the UK colder?
That hasn't happened yet and we don't know for sure if/when it will
It seems to me that the newer the research is the sooner the estimates seem to be getting, so my money is on a collapse before 2050 and I wouldn't be surprised at all if it happens within a decade.
It's going to overheat first, just long enough for the folks there to spend billions of £ installing air conditioners, and then it's going to be plunged into a localized ice age.
So you're saying that for a brief moment in time climate change will create a lot of value for shareholders?
